Nah, that's well within the normal range. This is the Federal Bureau of oops-that-terrorist-actually-was-an-informant-of-ours after all.

It really does seem like you all aren't aware of the (deserved) reputation of the FBI outside the US.

I think we're all pretty aware of their poor reputation inside the states. But externally, not as much.

They’ll do this to companies on our own soil, why wouldn’t they do it to “allies”?

Not really, if you can cloak it in plausible deniability.
